2011 CHGPA Christmas/Holiday/Club-Meeting Party! 6:30pm-10:00pm
John & JoAnn's Home
Ft. Washington, MD

There will be no general meeting of the CHGPA this December. Instead, we'll be celebrating the holidays at our annual CHGPA Christmas Party! This year, John and JoAnn Dullahan have graciously offered to open their home in Fort Washington MD for the festivities. This is a pot-luck, so please bring a main dish, side dish, or dessert to share.

All are welcome to attend, especially new pilots and new club members! While this isn't really a club meeting, it will still be an excellent opportunity to meet pilots, learn about sites, talk with HG/PG Observers, and make some friends. Kids are welcome too!

This will also be a good opportunity to renew your membership, and we'll have a short gathering to share a few brief bits of club business:

  • Winter flying tips
  • Paypal status update
  • Training hills - Smithsburg mowed?
  • Christmas gifts for land owners
